Methodology: Pages are written as original editorial planning guides for Canadian readers. They are built around use cases, style fit, budget fit, and official or primary-source checks where legal definitions, health guidance, or regional standards matter.
Editorial standard: The site does not promise live inventory, universal national availability, or hands-on testing of every bottle mentioned. Pages are reviewed when category guidance, sourcing, or Canadian retail context materially changes.
